As a developer of a standalone app under Win95
I have two java failings that haunt me. The first is buttons with
images but i know that's an old old topic.

The second is the inabilty to get any event delivered when the
Win95 user clicks the window-size icon in the top right corner of
the program window allocated by Win95. As you know this icon
either displays a single rectangle to make the screen full size or
a double rectangle to make the screen less than full size.

Ideally if the user makes the app window fullsize then when he
exits and re-enters the app it should be full size again. The
java program should also know about clicking these icons for
the reason that the paint() routine of components may do
some sizing calculations on the first call to paint (eg. working
out the best font size for a given window size) which are not
later repeated so that paint is fast. If the user resizes
the Win95 window then the program should be able to find out
so that the resizing can be done again.
All other Window events are delivered to the WindowListener
except this one type.

I think hotjava would be a lot more appealing to Win95 users
if they could tell it to always take the full screen.
